High Fiber Diet members,
The Venue committee, the Journeys Exhibit committee, and the Can You Hear It? Exhibit committee chairs have met to make some recommendations about how to proceed with our next exhibits in the face of the crisis the pandemic has sent our country into. The Advisory committee has approved these changes. It is important to remember to be flexible and patient as we move forward during this time. This is quite a journey that we are all on at this moment in time and perhaps that can or will be reflected in your piece for Journeys. All the committees are hoping that you are creating pieces for Journeys while we are confined to our homes. What an opportunity to spend so much quality time in your studio. During our meeting, we talked about being positive, patient, and encouraging as we
move forward.
We discussed a new timeline for Journeys with the understanding that it is not written in stone and may need to be changed as things change in our country. None of us can predict what will be happening on the dates we are proposing. Any changes to the following dates will be announced as soon as the changes have been established. At this point, we will not change anything in the timeline

NEWSFLASH from the JOURNEYS EXHIBIT COMMITTEE:
YOU HAVE MORE TIME!
It seems nothing in life is steady these days. Your "Journeys" exhibit committee is trying to keep the faith and produce a meaningful and beautiful exhibit to show during the new year-- yes, there will be a new year! We have two very nice venues for this show- The Northwest FiberArt and Quilt Museum in LaConnor, Wa, and Latimer Quilt and Textile Museum in Tillamook, Or. We wish we had more venues, but we feel responsible to deliver a wonderful exhibit to help these two prestigious institutions get back on their feet and we are thrilled with these opportunities. We hope that you are taking some of this Home time to remember favorite journeys of the past, reflect on internal journeys of life, or to work off energy/ anxiety about our current journey- coronavirus!!
Because of the instability of the COVID 19 situation and out of an abundance of caution we have decided to:
-- Adjust the online submission date: Submissions will open July 13, 2020 and close at twelve midnight August 14. Submission information will follow at a later date.
-- To enhance distancing, jurying will occur by digital submission-- that means digitally by the pictures that you submit. While we love to jury in person, it does not seem probable at this time that rooms or distancing will be adequately open to make that possible. See below for photo suggestions.
-- We will collect your wonderful work only after jurying and after accepted entries are announced. How and where will be announced when possible.
-- We are happy to announce that our jurors for Journeys will be Sidney Snell and Ann Johnston.
We have required professional quality photos in recent years. This is so that we can use your images for publicity, to make a high quality catalogue book and help you get used to the demands of more national and international submission. You are encouraged to obtain professional photographs, but they are not required this time because of the issues with the virus. If you chose to use a professional (and we hope you do!) the following guidelines are recommended:
-- Wash your hands thoroughly before you package your piece
-- Text when you arrive; drop off at door
-- Include your cash/check payment with packaging or pay online with card
-- Use blue tape to delineate where details should be shot, or include a drawing with details indicated
-- Plan to leave art for 2 days prior to when it will be shot
-- Face Time or phone with questions during shooting
If you need a photographer many of our members use and recommend Kayley Hoddick. She can be reached to schedule an appointment or answer questions at kayley@hoddick.com or 909.230.3533.
Further questions or comments should be directed to the Exhibit Committee Members listed on the Prospectus.
